Seems like a good essay to me.

I just cant understand why self-righteous "catholics" are so hysterical about the "unborn" child. And with the associated allegedly "moral evil" of contraception.

Part of the horrible mystery around abortions is associated within the failure to understand the condition of the unborn, and by extension our own condition. The whole process of the child being able to develop until birth is something that we obviously must value.

Even infants once they are born are in an unfathomable chaos of perception. They only gradually develop their self-sense, and social adaptation.

Like frightened children who are always afraid of being snuffed, we place and project our fear-based design of our conventional perceptions on to fetuses and infants, and thus cannot tolerate the idea that they are a sacrifice, that they in chaos. We cannot tolerate the idea and Reality that we too, must be a sacrifice.

True Wisdom arises when we are not afraid of all these deaths and understand that everything conditional is a process of chaos.

Unconditional Existence which is our always prior Condition is inherent and indestructible.

Wisdom is to be free of the fear that is evoked when we see all these cycles of being, and that everybody dies. It is see that conditional existence is an unexplainable chaos and a moment-to-moment sacrifice. This Wisdom releases us from the fear associated with mortality and witnessing the mortality of others, and even the mortal effects that each and every breath has. It releases us from the mortal effects that we have on everything and everyone. We are always eating, and being eaten by Life itself. There is no end to it. Everything is a feast, an entirely lawful transformation already, without doing anything else to it, without becoming intentionally violent relative to anything or anyone.
